With a tool like Composer it is generally best to have the ability to run it as any user on the server and from any directory. This is generally referred to as being 'globally installed' as any user can access the tool from any location. In this guide we will detail how to install Composer globally on a cPanel based server.

Composer is a dependency manager for PHP, written in PHP. Specifically, it’s used to simplify the process of using PHP libraries in your projects. The use can range from getting a framework, including a library class, or open source projects; generally these packages are downloaded by Composer and then implemented by a developer in a website’s code.
Examples being: Silex MicroFramework, the infamous PHPMailer class, Laravel Framework, and many more - all of which can be found on Composer’s main repository Packagist.

Memcached is a distributed, high-performance, in-memory caching system that is primarily used to speed up sites that make heavy use of databases. It can, however, be used to store objects of any kind. Nearly every popular CMS has a plugin or module to take advantage of Memcached, and many programming languages have a Memcached library, including PHP, Perl, Ruby, and Python. Memcached runs in memory and is thus quite speedy since it does not need to write data to disk.
